Abstract

Malnutrition can be caused by inadequate practices for infant and young child feeding (IYCF) and food instability. For children to survive, grow, and develop into healthy people who can lead fulfilling lives and constructively contribute to their communities, nutrition during the early years of life is essential. One of the most important aspects of children care is infant and young child feeding (IYCF). It has a significant impact on both the short and long-term health outcomes of individuals, as well as the social and economic advancement of communities and countries.The objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of nutritional education intervention in improving knowledge and practice regarding IYCF among mothers having 6-24 months children. In this work, a quasi-experimental design and a quantitative research methodology were utilised. In the study, a convenient sampling technique with thirty samples was the method used. A structured questionnaire and an observational checklist were used to gather the data.Data was analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. The research findings demonstrated that the nutritional education intervention was successful in improving mothers’ knowledge, as evidenced by the mean post-test knowledge score being higher than the mean pre-test knowledge score with a mean difference of 11.67. With a mean difference of 16.75, the mean post-test practice score exceeded the mean pre-test practice score, indicating that women were following appropriate protocol post nutritional education.
